sp_validate_replica_hosts_as_publishers (Transact-SQL)

Applies to: SQL Server

sp_validate_replica_hosts_as_publishers is an extension of sp_validate_redirected_publisher that allows all secondary replicas to be validated, rather than just the current primary replica. sp_validate_replica_hosts_as_publisher validates an entire Always On replication topology. sp_validate_replica_hosts_as_publishers must be executed directly on the distributor by using a remote desktop session to avoid a double-hop security error (21892).

Transact-SQL syntax conventions

Syntax

sp_validate_replica_hosts_as_publishers
    [ @original_publisher = ] N'original_publisher'
    , [ @publisher_db = ] N'publisher_db'
    , [ @redirected_publisher = ] N'redirected_publisher' OUTPUT
[ ; ]

Arguments

[ @original_publisher = ] N'original_publisher'

The name of the instance of SQL Server that originally published the database. @original_publisher is sysname, with no default.

[ @publisher_db = ] N'publisher_db'

The name of the database being published. @publisher_db is sysname, with no default.

[ @redirected_publisher = ] N'redirected_publisher' OUTPUT

The target of redirection when sp_redirect_publisher was called for the original publisher/published database pair. @redirected_publisher is an OUTPUT parameter of type sysname, with no default.

Return code values

0 (success) or 1 (failure).

Result set

None.

Remarks

If no entry exists for the publisher and the publishing database, sp_validate_redirected_publisher returns null for the output parameter @redirected_publisher. Otherwise, the associated redirected publisher is returned, both on success and failure.

If the validation succeeds, sp_validate_redirected_publisher returns a success indication.

If the validation fails, appropriate errors are raised. sp_validate_redirected_publisher makes a best effort to raise all issues and not just the first encountered.

sp_validate_replica_hosts_as_publishers fails with the following error when validating secondary replica hosts that don't allow read access, or require read intent to be specified.

Msg 21899, Level 11, State 1, Procedure sp_hadr_verify_subscribers_at_publisher, Line 109

Either data movement is suspended or the availability replica isn't enabled for read access.
